To deal with repeated "offending",we may add a 30 second, kindly but definite hold of the offending limb e.g. a hand if child is hitting. This is amazingly successful over time. While the hand-hold is happening, the teacher focuses on something/someone else and maintains a calm, friendly voice. This technique is best demonstrated to staff by a person familiar with it as it's important to do it correctly. A version has been totally successfully used by us to eliminate biting!!! Another technique, giving choices,is found in "Love and Logic Magic in Early Childhood"- we use this to foster autonomy and self restraint.
Once staff have seen how successful these techniques are, they embrace them wholeheartedly. They feel empowered and are calm and relaxed as they do not use energy in a battle of wills!]]>Teaching & LearningMon, 03 Sep 2018 13:50:32 +1200
